I am in love with the sound of my Airpods and my large headphones! When I’m taking walking or working out, or working out, having music playing while I work out is highly stimulating and enjoyable. It’s like we each have our favorite headphones or earbud preferences. Whatever your choice of headphones, we all know they get …. greasy.
As disgusting as it may be to contemplate hearing, our ears can be dirty, and ear wax and other debris from our ears get into our headphones. It’s a total scourge. However, it could also result in ear infections in sporadic instances. Cleaning your headphones is essential! This article will discuss:
Suppose you’ve not yet checked out our iPhone Care and Cleaning Guide post. But first, remove the wax off your ears, listen to the sound, then make sure your headphones are clean and squeaky.
How to Clean AirPods
There’s nothing more frustrating than pulling out your AirPods only to find large globs of wax on the inside of them. Yuck! It isn’t very comfortable to admit you’re still listening to the Spice Girls. Fortunately, cleaning AirPods is quick and straightforward.
Take the microfiber fabric and any other tool that has an end that is fine, such as a bobby pin, needle, or toothpick. Make sure to dampen your microfiber cloth before you wipe the exterior of your AirPods, and be sure not to get water inside any of the holes, as it could cause damage to the AirPods.
Use your well-crafted tool to remove the earwax from the speaker hole carefully. Be careful not to damage the speaker. They are very delicate! If you own AirPod Pros, you need to remove the silicon tips and wash them gently. Dry them with a microfiber cloth. D.O.o not reattach them until they are scorched.
How to Clean Earbuds
Cleaning earbuds are a lot like cleaning Airpods. Start by using a moist cotton cloth to clean the exterior of the earbud. Be cautious not to let any water inside the openings. After that, employ a fine instrument such as a bobby pin or toothpick to scrape the earwax off the speaker. It’s important to note here: be cautious when you do this to ensure that you don’t harm the speaker, which could damage the earbuds!
If you’re worried about damaging your speaker, use a clean toothbrush. Ensure the toothbrush is dry, and then gently brush the wire mesh. With patience, this will remove the gunk. But you might require a small tool to access the corners.
How to Clean Headphone Muffs
Perhaps you’re not an earphone person or gal but prefer large headphones. That’s great! They are more beneficial for your ears over the long haul. In addition, they will make you look stylish! But I digress. It’s straightforward to clean the muffs of your headphone. They aren’t as filthy as earbuds or Airpods, as they don’t enter directly into your ear.
If the headphones are equipped with removable muffs, take them off. Then, you can use a cleansing toothbrush and dry-clean your headphones. After that, grab a Microfiber cleaning cloth and the preferred cleaning product. Some people recommend using diluted rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. I like mixing vinegar and water. The best cleaner for you will depend on the materials your headphones are made from.
Lightly dampen your microfiber towel with the chosen cleaning solution and begin to work. Carefully wipe the entire surface of your headphones, including the band, ensuring not to leave water in any openings. Dry using a different microfiber cloth, but don’t apply until you’re confident you are 100% dry.
How to Clean A Headphone Jack
Cleaning the headphone jack could be a good idea to avoid purchasing new phones or an mp3 player (if you utilize them!). Dust and debris can build up in our headphone jacks and interfere with the connection between the headset and the device.
If your headphones don’t connect, Try cleaning the headphone jack before you toss your iPhone into the trash (OMG, you shouldn’t do that!). Compressed air can, which you can use to clean keyboards on laptops, is an excellent device to clean the headphone jack. (P.S. We also have a post on Cleaning A computer.)
The majority of compressed air cans come with a tube or nozzle. It is aimed at the headphone jack and blasts the air. You should blast out dirt and dust as well.
If you do not have compressed air, Try using a paperclip. The paperclip should be unbended so that it’s straight. Use this method carefully to clean all accumulated dirt in the headphone jack. Be careful; it’s straightforward to scratch your connector and render it non-functional. I’d test compressed air first.
